Could you please stop posting flamewar comments and ideological battle comments to HN? We ban accounts that keep doing that (because it destroys what this site is supposed to be for), and you've unfortunately been doing a ton of it.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Sure dang, I apologize and will try to frame my comments in ideological-related threads in a more positive, lighthearted discussion-fostering light in the future. When things tend to appear one-sided I do tend to go harder in the other direction to compensate and that's on me so again I apologize, and thanks for bringing it to my attention rather than banning me. (I will say I think the only flaw in this site, besides the inherent flaws in an upvoting type system, is the heavy-handedness of those who have comment-flagging powers. I have seen far more inflammatory comments not be flagged in the past than a couple that I've had flagged in the recent past.)

When it comes to the upvote/reddit-style discussion sites, HN is definitely top-tier, and I've enjoyed coming here since around 2009 or so, so thank you for all you've done here to help foster that!
